If instead had you said, how impatiently you waited for me
If instead could I say, very calmly I didn't at all wait for you.
If instead had you said, how earnestly you thought for me
If instead could I say, very smartly I didn't at all think for you.
If instead had you said, how sincerely you cared for me
If instead could I say, very boldly I didn't at all care for you.
If instead had you said, how eagerly you longed for me
If instead could I say, very carelessly I didn't at all long for you.
If instead had you said, how lonely you felt for me
If instead could I say, very indifferently I didn't at all feel for you.
If instead had you said, how every moment you died for me
If instead could I say, very honestly I didn't at all die for you.
If instead had you said, how badly you missed me
If instead could I say, very surely I didn't at all miss you.
If instead had you said, how deeply you loved me
If instead could I say, very thankfully I didn't at all love you.
If instead would you have written this poem for me
If instead would I have not read this poem at all for you.
